Trying to come up with a great Thanksgiving holiday trip? Here are some ideas for a budget-friendly, family-friendly Thanksgiving vacation. Keep in mind that no matter what the destination, by renting a timeshare you have a homebase from which to explore the surrounding area, all of the amenities of a resort, a fully-equipped kitchen for cooking the important turkey dinner if you choose to "eat in," and all of that for a great low price. Can't beat it!

Ski Colorado where Colorado's famed ski resorts will be up and running by Thanksgiving, thanks to good snowfall already this year. Rent a timeshare at resorts in Aspen, Copper Ridge, Vail or Breckenridge to name just a few, and enjoy early skiing with great conditions but without the bitter cold temperatures of winter. See Colorado timeshares.

The Outer Banks of North Carolina offer several choices for a warm Thanksgiving beach vacation. Rent a timeshare and explore interesting towns such as Nag's Head. At Nag's Head the entire family will enjoy Jockey's Ridge - the highest sand dune on the East Coast. Climb it, slide down it, or hang-glide off of it! See Outer Banks timeshares.

San Antonio, Texas, offers unprecedented beauty for Thanksgiving as fragrant flowers bloom in a colorful array along the famed Riverwalk. At the Wyndham Riverside Suites, in the heart of the Riverwalk, your timeshare will put you in the middle of the many activities San Antonio has to offer, including boat rides along the San Antonio River, a visit to the Alamo, and theme parks such as Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Be sure not to miss the dazzling Holiday River Parade and Lighting Ceremony held the day after Thanksgiving. See San Antonio timeshares.

Plymouth, Massachusetts, is of course the quintessential destination for a Thanksgiving vacation. Rent a timeshare a half-hour away on beautiful Cape Cod, or just an hour's drive in historic Boston, and re-live the beginnings of colonial America with the Pilgrims. Be sure to make reservations to attend the authentic Thanksgiving Feast held at near-by Plimouth Plantation. Learn more about Thanksgiving in Plymouth. See Massachusetts timeshares.

Wherever your Thanksgiving vacation plans take you, it's a special time for family bonding, and your rented timeshare will give you all of the comforts of home for a memorable holiday time together.
